Answer:

yes the ratio is the same

Step-by-step explanation:

12/8 = 3/2 (divided the top and bottom by 4)

6/4 = 3/2 (divided the top and bottom by 2)

yes the ratio is the same

Answer:

To compare, first find out what the ratio of boys to students is at the beginning of the school year: 12/8 or, in the simplest form, 3/2.Once school resumes in January, that ratio becomes 18/12 - (12 + 6)/(8 + 4) - or 3/2 in simplest form.Therefore, the ratio is still the same.
